Other ways to travel

  • Public ferry: MTCC’s RTL ferries run between islands in Raa Atoll, including from Ifuru. To check routes and book, use the RTL website or call 1650. Open rtl.mv
  • Seaplane: scheduled seaplanes fly only to resorts, not to local islands like Rasgatheem.

Before you go

  • Bring cash. The ATM on Rasgatheem gives rufiyaa (MVR) only, and no ATM in Raa Atoll gives US dollars.
  • Dress modestly on inhabited islands. Swimwear is only for designated bikini beaches.
  • Alcohol isn’t allowed on local islands, and you can’t bring it into the Maldives.
  • Flights and boats depend on the weather, so leave time to spare before your flight home.
